Mary Maker calls for greater investment in refugee education
The UN Goodwill Ambassador says millions of refugee children are missing school and urges world leaders to expand investment in their education.
UN Goodwill Ambassador Mary Maker has urged world leaders to invest more in education for refugee children, saying millions are currently missing school.
Maker said education changed the course of her own life, framing access to schooling as a critical issue for displaced children.
The appeal was reported by Al Jazeera Global News, which did not provide supporting figures for the number of children missing school or details of the countries affected.
Maker’s remarks call for greater investment in refugee education, but the report does not indicate any new United Nations policy or commitment.
The source also does not specify when or where the remarks were made, leaving the scale of the education shortfall and the proposed response unclear.
